Sorry just because Pravada claims some Russian bonehead made a claim doesn't mean it happened. And mind explaining how Chinese small arms are better than the world famous Russian ones? Look at all the Kalashnikov varients everything from the AK-74, to 101, 103, 107, AN series and many others, what makes Chinese varients better, they can't be more reliable because a Kalashnikov almost never Jams or breaks, infact Chinese varients of the Kalashnikov somehow manage to jam, in terms of accurancy 5.56X45 and 5.45X 39 rounds are about as accurate as they come, and i speak from experience having consistantly hit tight grouping at over 100 yards away. So how are they better? I bet you can't find one area to back your claim with--and a little remind i have used many forign weapons so don't waste my time with made up BS.
As for artilary, how is Chinese artillary better? I assume you used both to come to this conclusion or have accurate spects for accuracy reports. Also, Russia doesn't operate or have modern Chinese artilery, so bonehead's claims is unsubstantiated and opinion at best. That is if he actually made those claims.
Same applies for armored vehicals.
As for Strategic missles, again what makes Chinese strategic missiles better?
As for cruise missles Russia helped China improve the accuracy of their cruis emissles, i also assume you have reports on accuracy, countermeasures, ect and sory building very large missles that hold more fuel doesn't make a cruise missle better.
Same applies for UAV's where is your proof? I assume you have the latest spects for resolution, range, altitued ect ect for boths sides?
As for Naval ships China purchases countless Russian systems for its 054 frigate, and there is likely more purchases that havn't reached the media.
Your claim about conventional submarines seems as vague as your other claims, especially when just about everything related to submarines is classified.
Now to address yor asertion about Anti-ballistic missiles, China has something better than the S-400 and soon to be S-500? Really? Seriously?
And as for Anti-satellite missiles, Russia conducted tests way back in the 1960, China is about 40 years too late. And Russia is not interested in such test at this time, infact Russia is trying to clear space debris because it keeps damaging space crafts while China keeps creating space debris.
Famous does not mean better.
The QBZ-95's round has a better penetration, accuracy, and range than even the NATO 5.56 mm.
The AMR-2 sniper rifle also has an accuracy of 0.2 MOA, much superior than the Russian SVU-98.
In general, Chinese arms are more durable, reliable, and tougher in harsh conditions.
Online buyers claim Chinese-made Kalashnikovs as more reliable than Russian ones.
Speaking of artillery and armored vehicles, try searching up the specifications and capabilities of them. '
The PLZ04 howitzer has a range of over 50+ km and a firing rate of over 10 rounds per minute. Russia's most advanced artillery howitzer, the MSTA, has only 36 km of range and a max rate of 8 rounds/min.
China's SY-400 rocket artillery (with 400 km range and VLS launch) is more powerful than any Russian counterpart.
Chinese Type 99A2 tanks boasts more advanced armor, more powerful gun, better round capability, better mobility, and same protection system as the Russian T-90. Not to mention newer tanks like Type 99KM and CSU-152 are in testing and are being produced.
Strategic missiles: the JL-2 has a range of 14000 km and can carry 10 MaRVed warheads. The DF-41 has a range of 15000 km and can carry 12 MaRVed warheads. This is more capable than the Topol-M, Bulava, and in some aspects the SS-18.
Cruise missiles: just because Russia helped China in the 1980s doesn't mean it now holds an advantage. Missiles like the C-805, DH-10, CJ-10, and YJ-12/22 all have superior speed, range, and anti-interception countermeasures than the Russian counterparts. I can go in detail, but I would like to keep it brief.
Cruise missiles: The Xianglong UAV and Thunderbolt UAV are all jet-powered UAV with ranges of over 7000 km and speeds of 750 km/hr. Russia's Dozor UAVs are nowhere near that.
China may purchase some certain naval technologies from Russia, but again, those are just subsystems. Chinese ships have substantially better stealth shaping as well as weapons and in some areas, radar. Heck, Russian ships don't even incorporate VLS. Again, I can go in detail, but for the sake of this forum, I'm going to keep it short.
S-400 and S-500 aren't anti-ballistic missiles. The missiles I'm talking about are the type that can engage missiles in mid-flight. China's KT family has six missiles that have been successfully tested. Currently, only the US THAAD system and the Chinese KT system have proven being capable of doing that. Russia hasn't done so.
According to , China has contributed to at least 50% of the S-400's development and production. The missile's Chinese name is the HQ-19. So, the S-400 is Chinese-Russian, not just Russian.
Russian anti-satellite missiles are not known if they are capable of engaging specific targets in polar orbit or above 1000 altitude. Chinese missiles have been designed for such.
I'm sure that there are some ambiguous areas, but that's what is said according to weapons specifications.
